  • Patent number: 12005324
    Abstract: A golf club head includes a body that defines an internal cavity, a toe side, a heel side, a front side, an aft side, a top side, and a bottom side. The body includes a crown, a sole portion, and a hosel. When the golf club head is at address, the golf club head defines a rectangular volume that intersects outermost points on the toe side, the heel side, the front side, the aft side, the top side, and the bottom side of the body. The body of the golf club head defines eighteen heel-toe cross sections that are arranged parallel to a y-z plane and spaced evenly along a heel-toe direction within the rectangular volume. An average value of the centroid height of a first heel-toe cross section, a second heel-toe cross section, and a third heel-toe cross section is less than about 40 millimeters.

  • Patent number: 11989839
    Abstract: A method including executing a logical computing element (LCE) on a server. Worker LCEs are executed on the server. A first electronic file comprising geometry data in a first data structure is received at the controller LCE. An available worker LCE is identified, by the controller LCE, as an in-use worker LCE from among the worker LCEs. The geometry data is imported by the in-use worker LCE. A job instance is established by the in-use worker LCE. A rendering engine is launched by the in-use worker LCE. The rendering engine generates, for the job instance and using the geometry data, a dataset file in a second data structure different than the first data structure. The dataset file is returned by the in-use worker LCE to the controller LCE. The dataset file is returned by the controller LCE to a remote computer.

  • Patent number: 9006393
    Abstract: Stalled ribosome:nascent molecule of interest complexes and methods of using same are provided. Plasmids, particularly DNA plasmids, comprising a stall segment are also disclosed. The methods provide for the facile and stable formation of stalled ribosome:nascent molecule of interest complexes that may be used to examine protein synthesis and protein conformational events, as well as in the creation of desired ribosomal displays. Cells transformed with these plasmids are also provided, and include both eukaryotic and prokaryotic transformed cells. Stall elements that provide for ribosomal stalling of eukaryotic and prokaryotic ribosomes are also disclosed. Various therapeutic and clinical applications of these methods are also provided and used in diseases associated with defects in protein accumulation in vivo.

  • Patent number: 7479680
    Abstract: The present invention provides a single ESD device package that can be used to provide ESD protection to multiple high-speed lines, in particular multiple high-speed differential lines. The present invention has various aspects. Minute parasitic matching is achieved within a single package, and TMDS signal discontinuities are reduced by allowing uniform straight through routing. Also, the straight through routing and pin locations are matched to allow those straight routing lines to mate directly to high speed lines. Also, straight ground lines having a single via are associated with the straight through routing lines.

  • Patent number: 5550802
    Abstract: The present invention provides for communication of data to and from isochronous data sources and sinks. Preferably, a portion of bandwidth on the link is also dedicated to convey data to and from non-isochronous sources and sinks, as well as to permit conveying housekeeping information (such as information relating to data sources and destinations) and status and control maintenance information. A management port is included in the isochronous switching devices to allow monitoring or diagnostic access to the serial isochronous data stream to and from all physical layer portion connections. Accessing one connection's data stream does not affect normal operation of the other connections.

  • Patent number: 5521928
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for transferring data between two entities in a time slot interchange fashion. The apparatus and method includes a buffer memory comprised of three sections to accommodate up to one cycle of skew between the two independently operating entities. Cycle start detection logic coupled to the two entities controls or, as implemented in the preferred embodiment, designates a physical location within the buffer memory for each of the three sections upon receipt of cycle start reference signals from the two entities.

  • Patent number: 5506846
    Abstract: A data communication system such as a local area network or a wide area network capable of transmitting isochronous data. The system conveys both isochronous data and non-isochronous data by time multiplexing data into a recurring frame structure on a 4-bit nibble basis. The arriving data is de-multiplexed at a hub into separate channels which are forwarded to separate hardware appropriate for handling the particular data stream. The data is passed hierarchically from a source, through a node, and to a hub. The hub places the data into an internal connection memory for switching onto a high bandwidth bus for distribution to other destination hubs, nodes, or sinks, except, where the source node and destination node are attached to the same hub, the hub provides a local loopback to the destination node, thus avoiding the need to place the transmitted data onto the bus. This system conserves room on the bus for other isochronous and non-isochronous data.

  • Patent number: 5440556
    Abstract: A data communication system, such as a local area network, is provided with a capability of transmitting isochronous data. The system conveys both isochronous data and non-isochronous data by time-multiplexing the data into a recurring frame structure on a four-bit nibble basis. The arriving data is de-multiplexed at the hub into separate channels for handling the separate streams by appropriate hardware. When no calls are in progress, a low power mode enables two ends of a network link to reduce power consumption by transmitting a single pulse once every 125 microseconds in lieu of transmitting an entire cycle template. Synchronization while in low power mode allows circuitry at both ends of a network link to remain synchronized to a single reference clock.

  • Patent number: 5406559
    Abstract: A data transfer delay compensation system for a data communications system having a first transceiver and a second transceiver wherein the first transceiver includes circuitry for transferring an external cycle reference signal and a cycle delay signal to the second transceiver. The second transceiver includes circuitry for transmitting the received cycle reference back to the first transceiver a given time period after receipt of the cycle reference. The first transceiver receives the cycle reference transmitted from the second transceiver and measures a phase difference between the received cycle reference and the external cycle reference signal in order to update the cycle delay signal.
